Jack - so sorry to hear of your mother's passing. Best wishes and love to your family from ours, we are thinking of you. Jamie and Abby
Sending love to you all particularly Cushla, Jack, and Freya at this very sad time. You all lost your beautiful sister Zoe 40 years ago and now losing Lynn way before her time is another tragedy. Lynn was a wonderful woman and mother.
Sending love to Cushla and Jack, in this sad time. Both of you, and Bruce, were kind and supportive to her. I remember her as an intelligent and warm person with much to give, so she would have appreciated all that you did and loved you back for it.
Please accept my sincere condolences on the death of Lynn. I worked with Lynn in the MOE for a couple of years and always appreciated her sincere collegiality. Her work was always student centred and she always had time to listen. May you all be supported in the coming times by many wonderful memories. Blessings to you all. Keith McKenzie - Woodlands
